Bernoulli type inequalities for functions of logarithmic type are given. These functions include, in particular, Gaussian hypergeometric functions in the zero-balanced case $F(a,b;a+b;x)\,.$

In this paper our aim is to present some Landen inequalities for Gaussian hypergeometric functions, confluent hypergeometric functions, generalized Bessel functions and for general power series. Our main results complement and generalize…

In this paper, we consider the monotonicity of certain combinations of the Gaussian hypergeometric functions $F(a-1,b;a+b;1-x^c)$ and $F(a-1-\delta,b+\delta;a+b;1-x^d)$ on $(0,1)$ for $\delta\in(a-1,0)$, and study the problem of comparing…

In this paper, a generalization of Ramanujan's cubic transformation, in the form of an inequality, is proved for zero-balanced Gaussian hypergeometric function $F(a,b;a+b;x)$, $a,b>0$.

For Gaussian hypergeometric functions $F(x)= F(a,b;c;x),$ $a,b,c>0,$ we consider the quotient $ Q_F(x,y)= (F(x)+F(y))/F(z)$ and the difference $ D_F(x,y)= F(x)+F(y)-F(z)$ for $0<x,y<1$ with $z=x+y-xy \,.$ We give best possible bounds for…

For an entire mapping $f:\mathbb C\mapsto\mathbb C$ and a triple $(p,\alpha, r)\in (0,\infty)\times(-\infty,\infty)\times(0,\infty]$, the Gaussian integral means of $f$ (with respect to the area measure $dA$) is defined by $$ {\mathsf…

This paper systematically investigates the absolute monotonicity of two function families associated with the Gaussian hypergeometric function $F(a, b; c; x)$ (where $a,b,c\in\mathbb{R}_+$): $\mathcal{F}_p(x)=(1-x)^pF(a,b;c;x)$ and…

A new Hilbert-type integral inequality in the whole plane with the non-homogeneous kernel and parameters is given. The constant factor related to the hypergeometric function and the beta function is proved to be the best possible. As…

The paper classifies algebraic transformations of Gauss hypergeometric functions with the local exponent differences $(1/2,1/4,1/4)$, $(1/2,1/3,1/6)$ and $(1/3,1/3,1/3)$. These form a special class of algebraic transformations of Gauss…

Each family of Gauss hypergeometric functions $$ f_n={}_2F_1(a+\epsilon_1n, b+\epsilon_2n ;c+\epsilon_3n; z), $$ for fixed $\epsilon_j=0,\pm1$ (not all $\epsilon_j$ equal to zero) satisfies a second order linear difference equation of the…
